"Su Yan, how are you preparing?"

A young man in white overalls raised his head and looked at the door, only to see a middle-aged man with slightly gray temples and full of energy coming out of the elevator.

"General Wu, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, everything is ready, we will definitely catch it this time."

"You're quite confident, aren't you sloppy for me?" "Look at what you said, I don't dare to lie to anyone, and besides, you must be more confident than me in your heart." Su Yan said with a smile.

"That's almost 40 years since I first dealt with it, and this time I can only succeed and not fail." General Wu's right hand, which was placed on his waist, swung twice with small and powerful movements.

Su Yan stood up straight, his face changed from playful to serious, and said, "The Earth Cannon Space Telescope has been adjusted to a good angle, as soon as it appears, we can find it as soon as possible." Speaking of the word "earth cannon", the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, thinking that such a noble and noble space telescope in the world actually gave such a dirty name. Of course, he didn't dare to say it, because the person who named it was right in front of him, and General Wu said that the spirit of the revolutionary ancestors millet plus rifles to overthrow the Japanese devils must not be forgotten, and we must use earth artillery to win the first battle to really enter space.

"The space station has also opened artificial observation at the same time, two interstellar carriers have been in place, each interstellar carrier has arranged 50 engineering ships, all engineering ships have been fully fueled, and have turned off other working modes, all transferred to thrust mode, all engineering ships have been networked, data exchange can be carried out between ships, and according to the results of data analysis, they can cooperate with each other to adjust the propulsion direction and thrust size."

"Very good, this time is different from 35 years ago, that time was just an unsuccessful exploration, this time we want to catch it, it is much more difficult, but according to our plan and our existing advanced equipment, the success rate is much higher than last time."

"I'm waiting to drink your celebration wine, and I won't go home if I don't get drunk, hahaha." General Wu said loudly to all the staff in the hall.

"Okay—" The staff responded loudly and neatly. At first glance, it is a team with excellent quality.

"General Wu, it's still more than an hour before we can observe, so you can rest first. Zhao Qing, take General Wu to rest. ”

"Okay." A beautiful girl with short bangs immediately stood up, beckoned General Wu to sit at the leadership observation seat, and thoughtfully poured a glass of water for everyone.

Su Yan immediately buried himself in the busy work with the other staff, and the hall entered a quiet and fiery state of work again.

Time passed minute by minute, and on a wall in the middle of the hall was a large screen, with a lot of data parameters on both sides of the screen, and a piece of black hole in the middle, which was the image transmitted back by the Earth Cannon Space Telescope.

"Report, target appears!" The silence in the hall was broken in an instant.

"Ready, observe the data, calculate the orbit, calculate the speed... Su Yan immediately began to give orders in an orderly manner according to the plan.

I saw a faint bright bar appear on the screen, and slowly an asteroid appeared in its entirety. It was obvious that all the staff in the hall were starting to get excited.

"Old man, you're finally back, and you can't run away this time." General Wu said to himself.

"Report speed, report distance."

"The current distance is 48 million kilometers and the speed is 19.87 kilometers per second."

"Within the calculation error, act according to the original plan. Starship 1 accelerates from the left and Starship 2 accelerates from the right, allowing all engineering ships to land on the asteroid within 240 hours. Starship 1 and Starship 2 accompanied the asteroid throughout the flight. ”

"Starship 1 received." "Starship 2 received."

"The earth cannon continues to observe, and the space station continues to observe."

"Earth cannon received." "Space station received." The corners of the mouth of the operator of the Earth Cannon Space Telescope couldn't help but twitch.

After a series of orders were issued, Su Yan walked up to General Wu, saluted and began to report: "Report to Comrade General, the orbit and speed of the asteroid B52 are within our calculation error. The plan can be implemented according to the plan. Please instruct! ”

"Very good, just follow the preparations we made and take it down!"

"Yes, I will definitely take it!" Su Yan's bespectacled face erupted with two incongruous green tendons. There is a hint of gangsterism in the book.

"Xiao Su, this asteroid is full of treasures, we have been staring back and forth for more than 40 years, and we have been working hard for more than 40 years, and the new elements on it can allow us to build more starships and more equipment to conquer space. We only got a few dozen kilograms of rock from this asteroid, but we were able to build Starship 1 and Starship 2, as well as 200 engineering ships and 50 other types of ships. If we can leave all this 1-kilometer-sized asteroid behind, we will enter the space age and human civilization will go further. General Wu patted Su Yan's shoulder with his hand and said earnestly.

"Well, this time requires you to keep an eye on it all the time, not like last time... Alas, don't talk about it, when you're old, you'll be fucking sad. General Wu strode into the elevator.

Until the elevator went up, Su Yan turned his head and said to Zhao Qing: "Take out the best concentrated nutrient solution, give each brother a sufficient amount, and replenish it at any time if it is not enough, we can't sleep this month, and we can't afford to lose!" ”

Zhao Qing is the medical staff of Su Yan's scientific research team, after a long time, she has also taken care of the logistics or something, the thirty people in this team, except for her, are all big men, and this kind of meticulous work naturally falls on her. She put 3 bags of concentrated nutrient solution in front of everyone, this nutrient solution is extracted by biotechnology, the absorption rate is as high as 98% after taking, all of which are small molecule structures, do not need to be re-decomposed in the body, and can directly nourish cells after absorption, not only to supply energy to cells, but also to greatly delay cell aging. Ordinary people taking concentrated nutrient solution, the body will not be able to bear it, this excess nutrition will cause metabolic disorders and even poisoning in the body. But Su Yan's bodies are all genetically modified, and the tolerance of their bodies and cells is several times higher than that of ordinary people, and their physical fitness is also several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary people. In principle, 1 bag of concentrated nutrient solution can provide 10 days of nutritional needs for one person, and the high absorption rate also greatly reduces the number of excretions, especially for special personnel lurking, long-term space station and other tasks provide great convenience. In addition, with a genetically modified body, there is no big problem if you don't sleep for a month.

Su Yan and their scientific research team are subordinate to the army, everyone is not just a technical elite, because the body has been genetically modified, so the military skills are also leveraged, and the whole team is also excellent in style, and the order is prohibited. The hall fell silent again, with the occasional sound of keyboards, buttons, and the rustle of machines. They are waiting, waiting for all the engineering ships to land and the asteroid B52 to operate to the predetermined position to start the next step of the plan.

The focal point of the entire hall is the B52 that moves rapidly on the screen, and both machines and people are running for it in an orderly manner. Su Yan stood in the middle and stared at the screen motionlessly, and suddenly his body leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to get close to the screen and try to find something.

"Brother Su, do you think we can succeed this time? Is this asteroid important? ”

Zhao Qing stood beside Su Yan and asked. Zhao Qing is two years younger than Su Yan, don't look at Su Yan is very serious when he works, he is no different from ordinary young people in private, he also loves to laugh and play, and he is also very approachable, Zhao Qing himself can't remember when he began to replace his job title with Brother Su's title. And I like to ask Su Yan if I have any questions, and Su Yan really has to answer all questions.

"I was thinking about what process to do it, because I didn't think it would fail. As for the asteroid B52, it has the potential to change our world and change the fate of humanity on Earth. ”

As he spoke, Su Yan's body leaned forward again. And asked Zhao Qing: "There was a bright spot on the asteroid just now, did you see it?" Zhao Qing looked at Su Yan and shook his head suspiciously.

"It's faint, but it appears twice, and I shouldn't be mistaken." Su Yan seemed to say to Zhao Qing, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

"Starship 1, Starship 2, where are you now?"

According to the report, Starship 1 is currently traveling at 16.8 km/s and is still accelerating. We are almost at the meeting point with the B52. ”

According to the report, Starship 2 is currently traveling at 17.1 km/s and is still accelerating. We are almost at the meeting point with the B52. ”

"Roger, Starship 1, Starship 2, continue to act according to the predetermined plan."

"Neither Starship 1 nor 2 converged with the B52, and that bright spot doesn't seem to be our fault." Su Yan muttered to himself again.

"All personnel, focus on observing the movement of B52, especially to see if there are any anomalous phenomena on it." After Su Yan finished giving the order, he looked at the screen motionlessly, and his eyes were more focused on a certain location of the asteroid on the screen.

Asteroid B52 is still moving at a high speed of 19.87 km/s, getting closer and closer to Earth. The magnification of the earth cannon telescope has also been gradually lowered, and the image size of the asteroid on the screen has not changed, but the clarity is much higher.

The shape of this asteroid is irregular, not round or square, the whole body is black, and the surface is relatively smooth, free of dust and debris. From a distance, the asteroid has a small peak-like protrusion in the middle, and the rest of the asteroid is relatively flat.

"Starship 1, Starship 2 report location."

"Starship 1 is currently traveling at 19.5 km/s and will reach the rendezvous site at 19.87 km/s in 10 minutes."

"Starship 2 is currently traveling at 19.5 km/s and will reach the rendezvous site at 19.87 km/s in 10 minutes."

"Starship 1, Starship 2 turn on the shipboard telescope and pay attention to observation."

"Starship 1 received."

"Starship 2 received."

"All of them are in a first-class working state."

At this time, that bright spot appeared again, and this time not only Su Yan saw it, but other staff members also caught this anomaly.
